Kreature Tamers are sorted into seven Grades in the Kreature Combat Federation's official hierarchy, which are ranked in accordance with the Tamer's experience level and their overall combat record.
Overview
The grades are as follows, in order of highest to lowest:
- Supreme-Grade
- Elite-Grade
- Master-Grade
- Expert-Grade
- Ace-Grade
- Rookie-Grade
- Novice-Grade
The majority of registered Tamers are Rookies, Aces and Experts. Novices who are unable to raise their grade to Rookie within their first year usually quit Kreature taming altogether or settle for being hobbyists. Once a Tamer becomes an Expert, it becomes increasingly difficult to raise their grade. Tamers dedicated to their vocation might eventually become Masters, and there are only a handful of Elites, who are all super-celebrities by default. Elite is the highest grade that a Tamer can achieve through mere level grinding. Only Diamond or Platinum Cup champions are eligible to become Supreme-Grade Tamers. However, the higher the Grade, the smaller the gaps are between them; Elites and Supremes aren't substantially better than Masters.
Due to the fierceness of competition, relatively few Tamers ever make it to Master-Grade or higher. Upon becoming Experts, most Tamers are content to resign themselves to that status. It's still considered a respectable (and relatively realistic) goal for a Tamer to pursue.
When greeting each other for the first time, it's customary for Tamers to share their names and state their grades. As one's grade tends to be viewed as a shorthand for their achievements, Tamers tend to defer to those with higher grades in social situations. Novices generally aren't accorded much respect.
In order to qualify to run for Chairperson of the KCF, one must be a Kreature Tamer of Master-Grade or higher.
Grading only applies to Tamers in active competition in the Team Circuit or Singles League. There exist hobbyists who operate outside the main venues of competition that are comparable to High-Grade professional Tamers in their own right.
